Apple is developing a drama series from David S. Goyer called Foundation, based on writer and professor Isaac Asimov’s book series, the company announced Tuesday.
The show will be written and executive produced by Goyer and Josh Friedman, each of whom will serve as the series showrunners. Skydance Television is producing Foundation with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross also serving as executive producers.
Based on Isaac Asimov’s novel series of the same name, Foundation is a science fiction series set far in the future about humans scattered across distant planets all under the rule of the Galactic Empire. Hari Seldon, a mathematician known for developing the science psychohistory, envisions a looming dark age and the fall of the Galactic Empire. So he gathers together the greatest scientific minds to form the Foundation and lead the Galactic Empire into the future, only to be at the mercy of rising warlords.
